Brief Answer:
It is safe but not so effective in weight reduction.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on healthcare magic.

Along with diet and exercise, the green coffee beans extract has an adjunctive role in weight loss programs.

Vedic Delite green coffee bean extract contains certain acids like Chlorogenic acid which has antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities. It has beneficial role in controlling high BP.

For weight loss, chlorogenic acid is thought to affect how the body handles blood glucose and metabolism. However this effect is found to be very slow and it can take several weeks to reduce the body weight and this beneficial effect is not proven clinically yet.

I would therefore advise you to:

Avoid taking high caloric foods such as red meat, ice cream, chocolates, sweetened soft drinks, etc.
Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits.
Do regular exercise 30 min per day increasing it every week
Drink more than 3 liters of water/day

This should be enough for you to lose weight.
If you fail, discuss with your doctor about prescribing your Orlistat for weight loss in conjugation with diet and exercise

Since green coffee bean extract contains caffeine similar to regular coffee, so
It is important to understand that green coffee contains caffeine, similar to it can cause caffeine-related side effects similar to coffee like insomnia, nervousness and restlessness, stomach upset, nausea and vomiting, and other side effects.

Consuming large amounts of coffee bean extract might also cause headache, anxiety, agitation, ringing in the ears, and irregular heartbeats.

Hope the advice given above would be beneficial.
If you have any follow up query, kindly send it.
Best regards.
